The Common Sense In Trump’s Muslim Ban, By Majeed Dahiru

Anybody who really understands radical Islam and the
mindset of an average radical Muslim will appreciate the correctness of
both the timing and the choice of the countries banned. It is also
important to understand the fact that Trump’s doctrine is not aimed at
combating radical Islamic ideology but to contain its menace in order to
preserve the freedom, and guarantee the safety and security of American
citizens.
In keeping to his campaign promise, President Donald Trump has taken the
first of several steps in tackling headlong the menace of radical
Islam. By a stroke of pen on a controversial executive order, citizens
of seven predominantly Muslim countries of Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Syria,
Somalia, Iraq and Iran have been temporarily banned from the United
States of America, for one hundred and twenty days to allow for a more
effective vetting process to be put in place that will check the
immigration of radical Muslims into the country.

In what has become a
fixated routine, the army of the “anything Trump” opposition has
descended hard on this latest national security policy initiative, with
blitzkriegs of harsh criticisms and tantrums on the Trump
administration. These set of people are still reeling from the shock of
the Trump victory and are yet to come to terms with the reality of the
Trump’s era of a new world re-order, where the menace of radical Islam
will be confronted without the pretensions of political correctness or
moralist diplomatic finesse.

Once again, the oversubscribed international media establishment by
anti-Trump interest groups have continued to fundamentally misrepresent
the core of the Trump doctrine of the danger posed to America’s national
security by the menace of radical Islam. The same international mass
media establishment and their local protégés that didn’t see the Trump
victory coming are also not seeing the truth of Trump’s perception of
radical Islam. They have once again misled millions of people into mass
protests and the boycott of Trump’s “Muslim ban”.

The common sense behind the ban is being made difficult. Several
arguments have been advanced to buttress the inappropriateness of
Trump’s Muslim ban. Some have questioned the exclusion of Saudi Arabia,
Egypt and UAE, whose citizens were perpetrators of the most devastating
terror attack on September 9, 2001 on American home soil. Trump has been
accused of deliberately excluding these countries of the Middle East
where he is alleged to have business interests but included poor
economically irrelevant Muslim countries.

This line of thought has been
amplified by the oversubscribed anti-Trump international media
establishment to the detriment of the real reasons of the ban of those
seven countries and the exclusion of some others.
Anybody who really understands radical Islam and the mindset of an
average radical Muslim will appreciate the correctness of both the
timing and the choice of the countries banned. It is also important to
understand the fact that Trump’s doctrine is not aimed at combating
radical Islamic ideology but to contain its menace in order to preserve
the freedom, and guarantee the safety and security of American citizens.
The larger task of combating radical Islamic is the responsibility of
Muslims because it is a Muslim problem.

The destruction and down fall of
America is an obsession of all radical Muslims. This is why thousands of
Muslims living in the West heed the clarion call to jihad of ISIS, and
there is inspiration for lone wolf terror attacks by Muslim citizens of
western countries, as well as their refugees.

A close look at the contemporary history of the affected Muslim
countries will reveal them as having fallen apart under the weight of
radical Islamic ideology, which has pervaded their entire
socio-political configuration, thereby making peaceful coexistence
between people of different faiths, races and sects impossible within
the borders of these geographical entities.

The fact that most citizens
of these countries are fully radicalised, as evident in the near total
collapse of those countries, should be a cause for concern for every
freedom loving citizen of the free world. In addition to hate,
intolerance and sectarian divides, the collective hatred of America by
all the warring sects and races in the affected Muslim countries is one
unifying doctrine among all of them.

America is portrayed in radical Islamic ideology as the greatest
enemy of Islam and Muslims. As such, the destruction of this great enemy
is an obligation on all radical Muslims. America’s open and inclusive
society, which guarantees freedom to all, irrespective of religious
beliefs, their race, gender, or sexual preferences; a system, which
allows Muslims to freely worship without inhibitions in a
Judeo-Christian country is unfortunately the very reason radical Muslims
hate America. To them no other religion is permitted but Islam. Their
loyalty can only be to Allah through a global Islamic state and not to
an infidel American government that allows all forms of vices in the
name freedom and human right.

They hate America for supporting the existence of the Jewish state of
Israel whom radical Muslims regard as an avowed enemy. The ultimate
goal of radical Islam is the destruction of America from within its own
borders by taking advantage of the very system that guarantees freedom
but which they hate very passionately.

The strategy appears to be to
infiltrate as much as possible and gradually destroy America from
within. The destruction and down fall of America is an obsession of all
radical Muslims. This is why thousands of Muslims living in the West
heed the clarion call to jihad of ISIS, and there is inspiration for
lone wolf terror attacks by Muslim citizens of western countries, as
well as their refugees. Every Friday, the spiritual leader of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, the Ayatollah presides over chants of “death
to America” because the destruction of America is a state policy of
Iran.

The animosity against America is set to intensify because of Trump’s
open declaration of strong arm diplomacy towards Iran, and hence a
commendable national security initiative to extremely vet Iranian
Muslims entering America to make certain they are not part of those
chanting “death to America.” The Arab Muslim government and people of
Sudan could not peacefully coexist with the black African Christians and
animists as a result of extreme discrimination, leading to war and
eventual break up. How possible is it for an Arab Muslim from Sudan who
cannot tolerate his fellow African Christian compatriot to embrace the
diversity that is America? Extreme vetting is needed.

Many have queried why Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt are not
included in the banned list. The reason is simple; whereas all Muslim
countries have tendencies toward radicalisation, the allies of America
among these countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt have since the
9/11 attacks closely collaborated with the United States to proactively
tackle terrorism within their territories.

Somalia has been a failed state since the fall of President Mohammed
Siad Barre in 1991 as a result of inter-clan wars. This situation has
been further aggravated by the rise of radical Islamic jihadi groups
that have declared war against the infidel West. Somalia is the home of
Al Shabbab, which is one of the world’s deadliest terror groups. If
Somalis could not live in peace because of clan differences, is it
likely that they will truly embrace the diversity that is America?
Extreme vetting is surely needed with regard to them too. Libya has been
overrun by ISIS and other Jihadi groups. That America’s top envoy was
murdered right inside the confines of the US diplomatic enclave in
Benghazi, despite America’s support for the fall of Gadhafi clearly
shows the collective hatred of Libyans for America. How do you then
decide which Libyan is radicalised or not? Extreme vetting needed is
required on them equally. In Iraq and Syria, the Sunni and Shia populace
are fighting a deadly sectarian war, which has displaced millions of
Muslims desperately seeking refuge in the West.

The Sunni Jihadi groups,
Al-Nusra, ISIS and Al Qaeda that are fighting the Iranian Backed Shia
regimes in Syria and Iraq are unified in the common doctrine of the
hatred of America. Therefore, extreme vetting is needed to determine
which refugee is radicalised or not coming out of the homeland of ISIS.

Radical Islamic ideology is not unique to the seven banned countries.
Saudi-Arabia is very notorious for the spread of the Wahhabi theology
that is usually blamed for the resurgence of radical Jihadi groups in
contemporary times. Many have queried why Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt
are not included in the banned list.
The reason is simple; whereas all
Muslim countries have tendencies toward radicalisation, the allies of
America among these countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt have
since the 9/11 attacks closely collaborated with the United States to
proactively tackle terrorism within their territories. There is a
realisation between these countries and the United States that radical
Islamic Jihadi groups are mutual threats to their existence.

There is robust security cooperation between these countries and the
United States. Intelligence sharing in exchange for military aides has
made extreme vetting of citizens of the friendly countries possible from
within their countries. This largely explains the drastic reduction in
the number of Saudi nationals that are actively recruited into ISIS.
Since 9/11, Al Qaeda has continuously lost legitimacy in Saudi Arabia
because of the deadly attacks it has carried out in the kingdom.

The
largest arms deal in the history of America, estimated to be worth 80
billion dollars, is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Egypt is the
second biggest non NATO beneficiary of military aid, estimated to be
worth 35 billion dollars. UAE is host to the biggest American naval
fleet outside the Western hemisphere. These levels of security
collaborations are not available in the seven banned countries. Somalia,
Yemen and Libya are failed nations. Syria and Iraq are closely allied
with Iran that wishes America death.
